Dear railML community,
in the context of establishing our railML2.4nor extension we came across the <propService> sub-element of <ocp>. <propService> has several boolean attributes, which are described only vague in the railML wiki (https://wiki.railml.org/index.php?title=IS:propService).
We would therefore like to suggest the following more precise definitions for some selected attributes:

@passenger
If this value is true, the ocp offers passenger services. This means the ocp has at least one platform edge. As <platformEdge> is not mandatory under <trackElements> this does not need to be mapped. An ocp of operationalType "station" with @passenger="true" is a passenger station.

@service:
If this value is true, the ocp offers maintenance service. This means the ocp has at least one service section. As the value "service" refers to maintenance service defined in detail in <serviceSection> under <trackElements> it would be consistent to refer to service as maintenance services here as well. As <serviceSection> under <trackElements> is not mandatory this does not need to be mapped. An ocp of operationalType "station" with only propService@service="true" is a depot (DE:"Betriebshof").

@bus:
If this value is true, the ocp offers connections to other means of public transport services except for airport and ship (e. g. passenger changing to a bus, tram, subway etc.)

@goodsLoading:
If this value is true, the ocp is capable of loading/unloading goods directly on to freightwagons as part of trains. This usually is achieved through a loading platform (aka. a ramp).

@goodsIntermodal:
If this value is true, the ocp offers intermodal goods exchange, e. g. transferring trucks or containers on to flat wagons as part of trains. This usually involves a crane or reach stackers.

What do you think about these extended definition proposals?
